Whether specific regulations that apply to your business or organisation are governed locally, nationally or by specific industry bodies, it's vital that you are compliant to avoid potential punishments and other consequences. If you are found in breach of an area of regulatory law, you could face fines, limitations being placed on your business activity or even a potential prison sentence
